The sheer number of streaming options might make it tough to know where and how to watch sports, but Roku believes it can assist. The business has introduced a new sports “experience” that consolidates current and forthcoming contests. You may watch a live NCAA football game or find out when your favourite NBA club is playing next. While you may browse a carousel of applications, the focus is on gaming – choose a match and you’ll know which service to check in to.
The new centre also has zones dedicated to individual leagues and sports, as well as rows of free material if you aren’t ready to pay. Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, DirecTV, Fox Sports, FuboTV, Paramount+, Sling, TBS, TNT, truTV, and The Roku Channel are among the first service offerings. More alternatives will be available in the “coming months,” according to Roku. As a consequence, you won’t receive heavyweights like ESPN+, but you will get access to at least several big leagues.
The inclusion is hardly surprising. Sports content is increasingly being used as a hook for streaming platforms, with services like Apple TV+ and Prime Video even providing a few free contests. If you like watching live games, a central location may encourage you to continue with Roku devices, particularly if you’re accustomed to the ease of viewing sports on traditional TV.
